VIS 147A # ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES FOR ART I
4 units;
This course will develop artworks and installations that utilize digital electronics. Techniques in digital electronic construction and computer interfacing will be learned that will allow for interactive control of sound, lighting and electromechanics will be learned. Students will construct devices which can responsively adapt artworks to conditions involving viewer participation, space activation and machine intelligence.
